They exchanged at arms length in the center of the ring and Greb began to charge again, landing hard rights to the body while he held with his left for which he was warned by the referee. Wilson landed a hard left to the jaw before Greb again resumed his holding and received a severe elc- ture from, Referee O'Sullivan. Greb had the better of a protracted ex- change at long range and they began to spar when the bell ended the round. Round 4-—Greb jumped to the at- tack and landed both hands to the head. He blocked a right and then repeated with both hands when Wil- son tried to,cover up. They clinched several times and Greb ripped short rights to the chest and jaw.

Greb sent a long right to the head and danced away before coming in again to hold with his left and pound with his right while the champion countered with short lefts. Round 65—They clinched immedi- ately. Greb was very wild with rights. He landed one hand to the body and the other to the back ribs. Greb shot in'a hard right to the jaw andg/hen missed but Wilson, who was pretty much on the retreat, now missed also. Greb sent a left to the jaw and Wil- son shot a left to the hody and bounc- ed his fists off the challenger's jaw. Wilson rushed Greb to the ropes, but Greb came out slashing away with a two-fisted attack, and the champion resumed the clinching. Greb shot a right swing to the jaw and was going in for short range work when the gong sounded. Round 6—At this stage Greb was leading by a margin which was not too wide. Wilson fought toe to toe in a swift eéxchange but after a lull he took a severe right to the jaw. Greb landed another hard right to the jaw and Wilson sunk a hard left into #Greb's stomach.

Round 9—They sparred while Greb analyzed his opponent's condition be- fore plowing in digging both fsts to the body. Greb landed a hard right to the head and Wilson backed to the ropes, covering his face with his hands while the Pittsburgher whacked away., Wilson grabbed Greb around the walst to hold on and the chal- lenger slipped to the floor.

He dug a short right to Greb's mid- ribs and dispatched a right to the chin before the bell ended the round.

With his one eye Wilson conld see that Greb's stomach was his weak point and he pointed for his target but could not reach it while Greb backed away for a moment and ecame in landing wide swings. They had a short exchange before the gong tap- ped. Greb had a clear margin in the opinion of the experts at the end of this round. [} Round 11—Greb swung a right to the face and Wilson missed counter right 18ads. They exchanged in u clinch, and then Greb landed numer- ous rights before he opened up with both hands. Greb held with his left and butted with his head. Wilson shot a hard left just above the belt. Wil- son was advancing to clinch and Greb accepted his overtures by locking one arm and swinging the other. This was a slow round, ending with the men sparring. Round 12—They came together fighting and Wilson was cheered for livening up the battle with a left. Greb grabbed the ropes with his right and tried to pivot for a swing but the champion backed out of range and Greb had to cross the ring to land a hard right. They went into another half clinch and Greb did deadly pun- ishing with his right to the body and head. Greb sunk a left in Wilson's body and then crossed both hands re- peatedly to the jaw.

In the second game of this set, he smashed across four successive services aces, § feat that brought him thunderous applause from the crowd. Only one of these bullet-like drives was John- ston able to even touch with Hhis racquet and then he had no chance to make a return, Against such brilliant play, John. ston was hopelessly beaten but, weary under the Anzac's relentiess attack, he fought on gamely if ineffectively. He managed to take the fourth and sev- enth games of the final set after both |had gone to deuce but they were but | momentary flashes of his tennis gen- ius. Anderson, bringing all the crash- ing power of his forehands into play, quickly finished the set and the match. The defeat was the first Johnston has even sustained in Davis Cup play. In three previous years of competi- tion he had won 12 matches in sin- gles and doubles, the latter with Til- den as his partner. Tilden Wins The Tilden - Hawkes encounter though it gave America a much need- ed victory, was an anti-climax to the |Johnston-Anderson match, which had held the crowd in suspense for more {than an hour and a half.

Norris Willlams, American captain, a new international combination, in the third match, while on Monday Tilden will play Anderson and Johnston will opose Hawkes in the remaining singles matches.

Buick Four-wheel Brakes (% BUXCK four-wheel brakes provide a factor of safety welcomed by every driver. No matter how careful he may be there are moments when the power to stop his car quickly and surely averts a serious accident. Buick four-wheel brakes operate simply by light pressure on the foot pedal. There is no change in the method of operation over former Buick re ¢ wheel brakes. Buick rear brake construction has proved its dependability for many years. Identically the same principle, simple in its mechanism and effective in its braking control, now has been employed on the front wheels. The adoption of four-wheel brakes by Buick on its 1924 cars is wholly in keeping with its policy of giving the owner everything that will increase his safety, comfort and utilfgetion. The 1924 Buick cars likewise are distinctive for their beauty, their increased power, ease of operation and comfort—giving features never before found on motor cars.
